Nebel Lighthouse

Nebel Lighthouse is a modern beacon located in Nebel on Amrum Island that stands about 10 meters tall. The aluminum structure transmits white, red, and green light signals every five seconds to guide ships through North Sea waters.

The light was built in 1981 and replaced older navigation systems with contemporary technology and materials. It reflects the ongoing development of maritime aids along the German coast.

The light marks the coast as an aid to navigation for ships passing through the waters around the island. Visitors can observe how the regular signaling helps orient passing vessels in this busy sea route.

The light is located at coordinates 54.6453259 degrees North and 8.3612109 degrees East and can be observed most clearly at dawn or dusk. The site sits near the coastline and is visible from the island's beaches.

The light shares its architectural design with the Nieblum beacon on the neighboring island of Föhr. This shared pattern reflects standardized designs used at multiple locations along the German North Sea coast.
